We are about 45 -50 minutes south in Westmoreland County. I did a bunch of research on my classmate's grandfather about 20 years ago or so. He passed away in the early 2000's and he lived at the same place when he passed away as he did in 1985
My classmate was adopted. Her adopted parents ended up getting a divorce when we were maybe in Jr high. She then started getting into trouble an was put into foster care I believe. As we got older I wondered where she ended up, and thought to maybe ask her about her grandfather, but now I really don't think the van was involved.
You never know. A van with a mural of a skier is not common at all.

Vans with murals were much more common back then. The late 70s/early 80s were the golden years for customized vans.

Still....if you see something, say something. You just never know.

My mom was friends with her, and I still live close by. From personal interview from someone who also knew the girl, it's possible that the person involved may be or may be involved with a very well known bar owner nearby. Supposedly, the owners daughters told this person I spoke with that he was cherrie's biological father (conceived through assault), and was involved somehow. The man is very well known to be in biker gangs, and is known to commit different illegal acts. I don't know his name or if he is still alive, but what I do know is he owned/owns a bar called "Runts" in the Butler area. This is the first case i got seriously involved with.

My mother was on the bus that Cherrie got off of the day she went missing. The van seemed to defiantly be following the girl afterwards. Unfortunately my mother is deceased now so I can't get any more information from her, but she was close friends with Cherrie. The van, according to reports, may have been repainted black soon afterwards. Why repaint a van black immediately after that? seems like they didn't want to be identified, if only someone could've gotten the license plate...
